Athough his gravestone records his death as 23 August 1861, according to his military records he died at Camp Trousdale on 21 August 1861. Abstracts from reported deaths in the Nashville Christian Advocate state he died of camp fever and was attended to by his father who stayed with him until he died.

camp fever.

Thank you for your service and may you rest in peace.
